The Maze Runner is a dystopian novel because of what is going around with the place. This place a maze where some people took kids and place in there. They need to find there way out of the maze. The only problem is that they had tried for so many years and they still didn't find a way out. When they finally found it more than 20 kids died during the escape. When the sun came out they saw that the world was burnt buy the sun and that a virus spread around the world. And the ones who are still alive are scare of getting the virus. Some people are immune to it but the governments use them as lab-rats to experiment with them to see why they are immune.
Thomas has spent a lot of time in the process of recovering, both in mind and body, but he and the rest of the Gladers have change by the problems and the responsibility they have. In a world where there are no parents, teachers, and adults can't be trust. The Maze Runner is an allegory for growing up, its pains, and the discomfort it causes. As a teen turning into an adult but not only by age, but by the way he acts. His choices and decisions aren't always simple. They grow increasingly complex, require sacrifice, and sometimes don’t pay off the way we’d hoped they would. Thomas is aware that he holds the final key to their problems in his memory and that the wrong decision could lead to all their deaths. It’s a tough choice, with a big sacrifice.
The satire in the maze runner is that WICKED takes all of the kids that are immune to experiments with them and even kill them. Wicked exaggerate on their techniques. They make the immunes pass trough a lot of things like seen a best friend died, falling in love and the worst seen that love one die. They want to see how and why doesn't the virus affect their brain. They will do anything; even kill them, to see why they are immune to the virus. They even asked Thomas, the main character, if he wanted to donate his brain for the people, so they can find a cure.
Many people found out that The Maze Runner is an allusion to the hunger Games trilogy. They both have teenagers trying to survive; trying to win a battle that they think they are never going to win. Only that in the maze runner more than one survive and in the hunger games only one will survive. They both have people watching their moves. And both arenas were made by humans so they can find and/or entertain some one else. They almost have the same ending Katniss destroying the Capitol and Thomas destroying the headquarters of WICKED.
